When new license agreements are entered into the system, they can be instantly checked against all other agreements for conflicts such as an overlap of license periods for a title, right and language, a limitation or missing acquired right to license those rights, or expiration or limitation in the agency authorization for that title. If problems are found, the system precisely describes the problems, so that the user is not confused about which title, right, territory, languages, and time periods are conflicted and then allows a quick link to the conflicting agreements for a full inspection.

Even the availability reports are supported by interactive drill-downs to facilitate inspection of the underlying agreements.

An Events system is critical to keeping availability and expirations up to date with licensing and distribution activities – particularly important in systems when large number of licenses and titles are involved. Many systems have only very simple expressions of events and their dependent dates, and require significant manual entry to keep licenses and reports up to date.

In contrast, the iRights system is extremely robust and fully integrated, handling almost any complexity and combination of conditions and date offsets. It also automatically updates dates in contracts, administrative follow-ups and payment schedules when activities determine conditional events.
